Case Study: ProtectWise achieves real-time, petabyte-scale network threat detection with DataStax

ProtectWise is Revolutionizing Enterprise Network Security with the DataStax Platform

ProtectWise provides a Cloud Network DVR that records and analyzes enterprise network traffic to detect threats in real time. The company faced the challenge of ingesting and searching multi-petabyte, high-velocity time-series data with millions of writes per second while maintaining continuous availability and near‑real‑time analytics—requirements that legacy relational databases could not meet.

ProtectWise adopted DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra integrated with Solr) to achieve linear scale, 100% uptime, streaming analytics, and enterprise search. The result: the platform handles millions of transactions per second without latency or data loss, delivers lightning-fast indexing and queries, accelerated time‑to‑market, and a scalable foundation for future growth.
